H ow do I thank all the special people who have left their mark on my life, especially those who have help make it easier and happier? You guys know who you are! To my kids Tristan and Chiarawow, weve been through a lot together but like the phoenix we always rise. Id like to thank Mick and my familyMum, Frances, Roy and Joe (Lena you already got the bright star award), Jade and Dad, who is in Spirit but always keeping watch over me.

Id also like to thank Diana OShea for all her help with the initial edits and her valuable feedback on the book. Thanks to all of my students for trusting me to guide them. A huge thanks to Michelle and Steve de Souza for always being there for me. Thank you also to my publisher Maggie Hamilton at Allen & Unwin who has fantastic intuition. After all, she was guided by her sixth sense to ask me to write this book!

And finally, to all my helpers in Spiritthanks for showing me so many wonders.

S ometimes things happen in life that we cant explain. Having a premonition or seeing an apparition for the first time are two of those things. A sixth sense experience can be puzzling because what were experiencing doesnt always fit in nicely with our understanding of life.

The sixth sense is the part of us that helps us to see and know things that our normal senses cannot possibly pick up. Call it whatever you likea hunch, intuition (inner-tuition) or psychic abilitythe sixth sense is our extra sensory perception of the world. Its a real pity that so many of us doubt, and even block, this wonderful gift. But we do. I feel its largely because we fear what we dont understand, those things we cant explain. Rather than investing time in trying to explore the wonderful potential held in such moments, we hide them away. And thats such a waste because its usually the experiences we cant explain that hold the key to a deeper appreciation of life.

Working with your sixth sense can bring you some amazing rewards like ensuring you are at the right place at the right time to get that incredible job. It can help you pick up on a health issue before it gets out of hand and even help you to cross paths with your perfect match.

Youve got the sixth sense, so why not use it? I consider it a privilege to be able to help people understand their paranormal experiences and teach them how to work with their beautiful gift of the sixth sense. This book will show you just how easy it is.

Y our sixth sense is your extraordinary sensory gift. It wins hands down over your other five senses, yet remains the most under-utilised. Thats because were not taught enough about our sixth sense and what it can do for us. While its largely associated with the paranormal, the sixth sense can be used in so many ways in our everyday life. Most of us are held back by a lack of faith in our incredible gift. Why not place a little trust in your sixth sense and see what happens?

There are all kinds of ways you can experience your sixth sensefrom seeing premonitions to having gut feelings about a situation or an event. Or you may be able to read other people and know what they are going to do or say before they do it. What a truly wonderful gift! Imagine being able to grab little snapshots of the future and then using these insights to make your life a whole lot easier.

Your sixth sense heightens your awareness of whats really going on inside you and around you. Its as if you are standing in the middle of a forest on a foggy winter morning and dont know which way to turn because everything is so hazy. Suddenly the fog lifts and youre able see everything around you with a crisp clearness. Thats the beautiful thing about the sixth senseit reveals things in their true light. But thats not all it can do. By expanding your perception, the sixth sense helps you to make better life choices by giving you an inner knowing of what is right for you.

Close your eyes for a moment and look back to a time in your life when you abandoned cold logic and followed your intuition. You made the right choice, didnt you? The voice of your soul is the one part of you thats never wrong! It doesnt make mistakes because it works with emotional intelligence.

Heartfelt choices come from your inner truth. Your rational mind understands practical matters but doesnt always have the bigger picture in its sight. If someone at work said to you, Youre never going to get the promotion you want because you havent got the talent, would you believe them? Cold logic will naturally highlight all your faults, and you could easily talk yourself out of going for the promotion. But if your soul said, This is right for me, I know I can do the job, then that instinct needs to be honoured because your soul knows your destiny. Trust that your soul will make the best choices for you, especially during lifes critical moments.

Try this exercise if you find yourself unable to make important decisions because conflicting thoughts are bouncing through your mind.

Relax and silence your mind until it is completely blank. It may take a few minutes to achieve but once your mind is clear let your soul show you the solution to your problem. Stay open to the impressions you are sensing. Dont immediately discard things because they seem unusual or far-fetchedthey may come as a vision, insight or premonition.
